Basket Case…the details

October 13, 2010

This quilt is made from one jelly roll, plus cream yardage and borders. I wanted a woven look for each block without cutting the strips all into little squares with lots of little seams….so it took a full night of staring at my silly drawings to figure out how to properly do it and make it simple.

The fabric line is Bliss by Bonnie and Camille for Moda.

The back is the lovely aqua medallions.

and the binding is scrappy using the leftover jelly roll strips.

The quilt measures 61″ x 71″ . The pattern is suitable for a beginning quilter with some piecing and seam matching skills. And it’s so fun to make!

Wow this is incredible! I am starting to seriously think of projects to work on now that our house is basically done!! (read doing cartwheels and throwing kisses to the crowd!!!) LOL

What do you recommend for a beginning sewer with 20 years experience? Yeah, I've been doing straight stitches for that long and still can't quite get the hang of it… hmm maybe if I ever read directions. Nah! 🙂 Any skirts ideas for one who is thick in the hips and middle? Think curvy pear.. 🙂

This is so beautiful! I am pretty new to quilting and I love using the pre-cuts. I am going to have to put this on my wish-list! Oh, and I know what you mean about those Costco sample ladies….well, just Costco in general! I walked out of there with a huge jar of a snack mix the other day that I had to buy, just because it looked yummy. lol

How funny, I worked on a baby quilt all day yesterday and didn't stop for lunch because I was snacking on the chocolate covered pomegranates from Costco. They're so yummy but I think I'm a little sick of them now.Your quilt is amazing!! I love Bliss. I am trying to decide what to do with my Bliss charm pack that's sitting here.

Love, love, love it! I'm on a fabric buying ban I set for myself right now and not getting some bliss is killing me! I just need to get busy sewing and using up some stash so I can free myself to indulge… And your pattern just shows it off so well! I really love how intricate this looks! It's going on the wish list, now who can I convince to buy it for me…
